Overview
<p>NEH encourages projects that explore humanities ideas through multiple formats. Proposed projects may include complementary components that deepen an audience’s understanding of a subject: for example, a museum exhibition might be accompanied by a website, mobile app, or discussion programs. Your application must identify one primary format for your project and follow the application instructions for that format.<br>By humanities projects we mean projects that seek to understand and explain the significance of what people have thought, done, and achieved, both in the past and in our time. To be a bit more specific, humanities fields explore topics like these: the philosophy, literature, art, and music that people create; the battles that they fight; the polities and societies in which they live; the social forces that unite and divide them; the work that they<br>do; and the religions in which they believe.</p>
